Re: killie profits
One of the reasons this hobby hasn't been taken over by the "big breeders"
is that it wouldn't be profitable. Lets be thankful that we found a hobby
that allows us to breed fish our way without the domination of the
commercial breeders. Enjoy the hobby. Write a book about it. Sell the book.
